Heaven's Coast by Mark Doty

A Memoir

A lyrical, elegiac memoir that follows the narrator through the illness, death, and aftermath of his partner’s passing from AIDS, chronicling the intimate care of the final days, the ritual of farewell, and the difficult work of grief. Through precise, poetic prose it explores memory, mortality, and love, finding meaning in small domestic details and in the attempt to hold on to someone lost while learning to live with absence.
